net.art generator [via William Gibson] The art is created through a Google image search and some automatic image manipulation. For examples, go here.

The best part of this is the ideas it will generate on how to do it much, much better.

This one's really good. Why do I think 3 images would be better than 2 or 4?

Hmm. "Orgone accumulator" turned out decent. I think I could play with this for hours.

This image makes me feel uneasy and fearful, but I'm not sure why.

Existentialism turned out pretty well.

All it's missing is a few lensflares, horrible fonts with glowing stroked beveled dropshadows. Everything I saw looked like JeffK designed it

Dreamlines does the same thing much better

Maybe I just don't get "net art"--not being avant garde enough--but, ah, that looks distinctly like you just grab random HTML tags out of the pages and then print them at random places.

I... don't see it. :S
